I cannot imagine any red bloodied pairs players passing on these cards. Double is the most flexible bid but if West bids 3diamond then you'd have to show the majors by rebidding 3heart. Today there is no rebid decision because West converts your double into one of penalties.

Partner leads ace, king and diamond6, which you ruff. It's always a special delight to score by ruffing with a singleton trump, but what do you lead after seeing declarer's contribution of diamondQ98?
